Since its beginnings in the world of snowboarding, 686 has been developing gear designed for riders who spend long days on the mountain. The ski and snowboard pants from the brand are made to meet the demands of the terrain, whether it’s groomed slopes, the park, or freeride routes.
The priority is given to protection against the elements while maintaining excellent freedom of movement. This approach allows you to fully enjoy every outing without being limited by your gear, even when conditions become more challenging.

Protection Suitable for Winter Conditions
A good ski pant is not just about waterproofing. It must also ensure effective moisture management, support movement, and maintain a constant level of comfort throughout the day. The 686 pants are developed with this logic to meet the needs of modern skiers and snowboarders.
Paired with the 686 Ski & Snow Jackets, they create a cohesive set capable of facing snow, wind, and temperature variations encountered in the mountains.
A Technical Approach Inherited from Snowboarding
The DNA of 686 remains deeply linked to snowboard culture. This influence is reflected in the cuts, functional details, and the constant pursuit of comfort in movement. The brand's models appeal to both freestyle riders and those focused on freeride or all-mountain.
Within the 686 Ski & Snow Clothing Collection, the pants hold a central place as they form the basis of an outfit capable of evolving in varied environments, from groomed resorts to off-piste areas.
Assemble a Complete 686 Outfit
To benefit from all the brand's performance, the pants can be paired with the entire 686 universe. Riders typically complete their gear with the 686 Ski & Snow Jackets for the outer layer and the 686 Down Jackets and Fleece for thermal insulation when temperatures drop.
This complementarity allows you to adapt your outfit to your level, your style of practice, and the conditions encountered throughout the season.
